PSA: I’m MELTING!

Often, you will hear me suggest that you just shouldn’t use buttercream in hot weather…this is why!   The lovely Bronwen Weber of Frosted Art Bakery in Dallas, TX has created a cute video explaining this very problem…

So, if you don’t want your cake to melt, please, PLEASE, pretty please…use fondant and DON’T have your cake outside in these conditions (your guests will probably thank you too!). :)  After all, you’ve paid all that money for me to spend all that time making and decorating your pretty cake…your guests should be able to enjoy it too!

Thank you, Mrs. Weber, for creating a video demonstrating this exact problem!  Sometimes people just need to see it for themselves!

Baking with the Boys

Happy Birthday, Grandpa!

Happy Birthday, Grandpa!

Many of you may not know that I have 2 very cute and fun boys, Benjamin (almost 6) and Samuel (almost 4).  They constantly ask me if they can help and generally get told no, because the particular thing I am making is going to someone else!  They are great assistants in the kitchen, so I enlisted their help to make my Dad (their Grandpa’s) birthday cupcakes!
